## Full yt-dlp Support + Easy CLI Integration

This tool uses [**yt-dlp**](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) under the hood, so it supports **all sites yt-dlp supports** — not just the ones listed below.

**[Click here to view the full list of sites supported by yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md)**

But we’ve gone a step further!
In `downloader.py`, we’ve added **CLI program support for the most commonly used social media platforms** (like YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, X, etc.) via an internal `allowed_domains` list.

This makes it easier for users to:

* Paste a URL from a popular site
* Automatically validate it
* Download videos or extract audio seamlessly

✅ All without needing to memorize complex flags or command-line options!

You can even expand support by **editing the `allowed_domains` list** inside the script. This makes it super customizable for your own needs.

## Built With

This tool wouldn't be possible without these amazing open-source projects:

* [**yt-dlp**](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
* [**Instaloader**](https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader)

> **Huge thanks** to their developers and contributors for making this tool possible!
